Cindy, and her twin, and Rick

Look, everyone wanted to draw that one Calvin & Hobbes where they pretend they’re in a soap opera strip and it’s drawn to look like a soap opera strip, and it’s amazingly funny, but not everyone succeeds, okay.

I just don’t even question it anymore. Don’t really care. It’s like the Dean from Community. After a while, just sorta stops being a question and becomes more just a thing you’re pretty sure would just be annoying as hell to define.

A for effort, Willis, and in your defense most soap opera strips today look awful, e.g. the last panel in Wednesday’s Rex Morgan: http://joshreads.com/?p=25051. One of the great things about Watterson is that he could draw the soap style the way today’s soap artists WISH they could draw.

Which also brings up the question as to whether or not a giant mutant honey bun has a gender, since so many sexualities are defined in relation to the person in question’s gender as well as who they’re attracted to.

They probably need someone to refresh the frosting, keep HB from going moldy or going too close to large bodies of water, things like that.

Shortpacked! mentions that Honey Bun had an agent, however. That could possibly mean HB’s handlers, at least, were earning some form of money for the appearances and roles. And yes, someone would eventually have to arrange all these appearance, no matter how funny I think it would be if a mutant Honey Bun could just walk onto any set and assume one of the roles. 😀
